KellyKelly-Louise, actually any girls name with Louise popped on the end like they do with Rose or May now.LouiseClaireEmmaKatieSarah- There were so many of all of the above in my year at school I couldn't even count.

I'm early 40s and these were the most common names at my school:RachelSarahCatherine/KateNicolaLouise/aJoanne/a

I went to an all girls school so not so sure about boys but I think I remember the following as being pretty common at the time:StephenMatthewRobertMartinNicholasMarkChristopherDavid

None of my family have any of the above names though, male or female, and I'm one of five so I'm quite pleased that my parents were a bit more imaginative ( although I was going to be called Matthew if I'd been a boy).

I actually went to school with some very unusual, one-off names, that I've never heard of before and since. Odd, since I grew up in a deeply middle class area. As well as lots of lovely under-used names, including two of the swans from Swan Lake.

Everyone always says there's far more diversity in names now, but I'm inclined to strongly disagree. There actually seems to be a relatively small pool of names that get used over and over these days. Olivia, Florence, Beatrice, Ruby, Daisy, Sophie, Grace, Millie et al, Isabella et al, Isla, Evie, Eva, Ava, etc, are all well and truly done.

The eyes-glaze-over names from my generation are probably Karen, Joanne, Angela, Andrea, Jennifer, Sarah, Claire, Lisa, Nicole/a, Jane, Bridget. All lovely names. But very, very, very familiar. Not as good with boys' names as I went to an all-girls' school. But Simon, Mark, Matthew, Andrew, Richard, etc, were all pretty standard.

i'm early thirties and I was at school with a million Emilys and some Sarahs and some Clares. my first three boyfriends were all called James. My best friend now is Jamie and I'm working with another Jamie - both same age.

I am early thirties in Kent and I have to say, I have great trouble with all the Chrises. Seriously, I know at least 7 of them and have to differentiate with their surname to other friends and family. Sarah's the post popular girls name amongst my friends too.
